They're show-offs.
They parade over hills and fields, dwarfing the buttercups and out-shining the wild roses, waving their flocks of rainbow-coloured petals, shaming the butterflies and meadowhawks. You always have to take just one more photo. And then another stalk yells out, "But look at
me!"

| Colours range from white, through pale creams and lilacs, to wine-purple and royal blue. |
 |
| Magenta and lilac |
 |
| Deep purple |
 |
| Baby blanket pink |
Delicious colours! The bees think so, too.
 |
| Feeding on most flowers, the bees' bags of pollen are yellow or orange. I noticed that these bees' bags are deeper colours; dark orange, red or even deep pink. |
 |
| Nom, nom, nom! |
 |
| Dangling skinny legs! |

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
